Its not for everyone, same as any other DE. I will say on portable devices it can be nice for staying out of the way.
Extensions are fairly easy to use too. Let’s you add and customize stuff. Honestly just spin up a fedora VM and see for yourself?
It’s nothing like the beloved gtk of old, but I don’t always agree with the hate.
I think Slipknot wrote a song about that lol
Two physical drives. Install windows first in one, then Linux on the other. If you don’t do this order windows boot manager will take over and you’ll have to boot Linux from bios.
Well, now how am I supposed to cross reference my need of fuzzy slippers and woodworking stuff?!
Make sure smart is enabled in the bios. Too often I see it flipped off by default.
I’d wager something like Mandriva being an option too. Fedora was meh at best at that time. Or even Suse.
Wireguard has effectively zero impact on my setup.
Sponsor Block is great too, specifically for YouTube. I’d say about ~90% of the creators own plugs are auto skipped. Pretty sure you can whitelist specific channels.
Just one little addition: win+shift+s for snipping tool. Let’s you select a region, window or whole screen.
Dang. Really hope this gets sorted soonish. In the market for something new and planned on going GOS or lineage.
I can’t think of a time I’ve seen an ad and thought, ya that’s exactly what I need in my life.
If it’s just one or two rooms ya need wired up, but don’t wanna run the copper? There are options. If you have any old coax drops in them there’s adapters you can attach and just reuse the old coax. OR you could look into a power line adapter. Basically it uses the house electrical lines (in the wall) to create a connection.
Install windows on a second/spare drive. Boot PC from this and run their tool.
I know you’re trying to find a way around not using windows, but if the vendors only solution involves it, I wouldn’t trust any hacky workarounds when it comes to bios updates.
On prem AD. At least for my MSP’s clients. Have been pushing hard last few years to migrate to azure.
Mostly I just use nextclouds deck extension. It behaves close enough to what I need as a solo operation.
Others have said this, but it’s always a work in progress.
What started out as just a spare optiplex desktop and needing a dedicated box for Minecraft and valheim servers, to now having a rack in my living room with a few key things I and others rely on. You definitely aren’t alone XD
Regular, proactive work goes a long way. I also stated creating tickets for myself, each with a specific task. This way I could break things down, have reminders of what still needs attention, and track progress.
Where I live, there’s one charging station. And it’s like 8 miles or so from my house. I’ve yet to see more. It’s also a fairly rural area. I think we forget how much population lives outside cities.
You can also setup local comms network for them and the bands they can operate in have better structural penetration vs most WiFi/cellular?
It also gives them a singular, simple device that won’t be confused for personal notifications like a smart phone.
Not everything needs to be bleeding edge. We still use forks and spoons cuz they just work.
